Jesse Ventura Compares Chris Kyle And The U.S. To Nazis

"If a Nazi soldier killed a hundred people that had lived there, would he be classified a hero in Germany?

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura took another swipe at “American Sniper” Chris Kyle, comparing him to a Nazi.

Speaking on Fox News Radio to Alan Colmes Tuesday, Ventura likened Kyle to Nazi soldiers during World War II, before saying Americans are analogous to "Nazis and Communists."

The segment begins at 5:30.

Here is the transcript from Tuesday's show:

VENTURA: A hero should have honor. A hero is not how many people you’ve killed. You know he’s obviously a great sniper. He’s obviously a great shot. He obviously did his job correctly. Alan let me fire this one at you: Do you think the Nazis have heroes?

COLMES: Well, obviously the Nazis were fighting for a cause we can’t condone.

VENTURA: Wait Wait Wait. When they invaded a country, when they invaded Poland, when they invaded France, and if a Nazi soldier killed a hundred people that had lived there, would he be classified a hero in Germany?

COLMES: But are you comparing what the Nazi mission was versus what our mission is in war as a country?

VENTURA: Well what I’m stating is we invaded Iraq, we were not asked in. We invaded a country, we overthrew its government, and then we killed people that lived there.

COLMES: Are we analogous to the Nazis?

VENTURA: Well, and the Communists, yeah.
